And who can blame him, with his multimillion-dollar Queenstown tourism company, Totally Tourism, being severely affected by New Zealand’s border closures.
He feared what another community outbreak of Covid-19 would do for businesses around the country.
But if the border was managed correctly and Covid cases stayed out of the community, a travel bubble with Australia would be the ideal scenario, he said.

Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks and other community foodbanks.
By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you donate a can of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.80 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
Let's keep working together to make our communities better for everyone while honouring Te Ao Māori.

Don’t risk making your whānau sick. Eat any leftover food within two days. If in doubt, chuck it out.

A briefing prepared for Tourism Minister Stuart Nash said targetted restart grants to cover wages and fixed costs were desperately needed for operators who pre-Covid relied on the international market for more than 70 per cent of their customers or income .
Tourism Export Council chief executive Lynda Keene said there was the very real prospect of such businesses closing if the borders remained closed to long haul visitors this year, and those in the inbound tour and the transport sectors were both seriously at risk. Continue reading here.

Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.

Ambergris is a wax-like substance secreted in sperm whale intestines. It protects the whale's stomach from its abrasive diet of beaked squid. It has been used for centuries in expensive perfumes, as it traps aroma on the skin for long periods.
Its relative rarity also means it can attract hefty prices – more than $10,000 a kilogram. Read more here.
There's still time to enter The Resene Shed of the Year 2021. The winner receives $3000 worth of gardening gear and the runner-up receives $1075 worth of prizes.
